I awoke this morning refreshed. As I began today's
hike, 30-30 pointed out a note that he wanted me to read.
The note read something like this. "There is an agressive bear in this area who
has been known to enter tents." Wow, I wondered if the bear that I had seen was
THAT bear. "Did you see this note last night," I asked 30-30. "Yes, but I didn't
want to tell you." He knew me well enough to know that I would never have camped
there. His reasoning was spot on. I hiked along today feeling good.
The weather was a mix of rain showers, sun, clouds, and I even spotted a snow patch
far in the distance on a mountainside. I also heard what sounded just like the music
of an ice cream truck. The music took me back to my youth,summertime, when I eagerly
waited on the curb with my 4 brothers and sisters for the musical truck to sell
its array of ice cream delights. The cowbells teased me as I hiked along the mountainside.
I have only been hiking for 3 days and I'm already dreaming about tasty treats.
It doesn't take long. My 25 mile day was a satisfying walk.
